*** Lesson Details ***Our musical journey has a smooth and relaxed progression, establishing enough command of the keyboard to allow each student to develop naturally. To make the piano a richer and more rewarding experience, I enjoy introducing a variety of musical styles, from popular favorites to timeless classical pieces, according to the student’s musical tastes.

I believe in a dynamic and responsive method of teaching. I see the student as an active participant in their own learning. Our lesson feels pleasant and joyful, so the student will always delight in playing the piano and creating music. Based on the student’s age and demands, I employ several methods of teaching that lead to the development of observation, concentration, creativity, self-confidence, and personal expression. I encourage and support my students regardless of specific talent, as we move toward an effective and beneficial musical experience.

Stanley, 62, was found dead in some woods near Thomas Road and N.C. Highway 96 after a two-day search prompted by a report of a shooting at 8068-B Stricklands Crossroads Road.

When deputies arrived at the home, they found only blood on the ground and no sign of Stanley or Slade. A neighbor had been at the home earlier that evening and told investigators that Slade had a gun and Stanley was on the ground.

Slade surrendered to authorities after walking up to a WRAL News crew and saying he wasn't sure why deputies were looking for him.

He was sentenced to 276 to 344 months in prison. Johnston County District Attorney Susan Doyle said Stanley's family agreed to the plea rather than taking the case to trial.
